Sweet Victory Late Harvest Traminette

This small batch, late harvest Traminette has myriad aromas of wild flowers, orange blossoms, honeysuckle, jasmine, and peonies on the nose. As for the palate, a complex blend of orange rind, honey, apricot preserves, and dried pineapple. It has a well-balanced acidity and a long lingering finish. We think of this as a mixed fruit compote in the form of wine.

Vineyard Notes

Traminette grapes were sourced from Rock Mill Vineyard and picked later for heightened ripeness to yield a sweet, but full wine.

Winemaker Notes

Bottled on June 11th, 2018. The Traminette was picked in November when the fruit had slightly raisin-ed, then pressed immediately. It was fermented and aged in stainless steel tank for seven months. Best consumed in two years and will last for 15 years.

This is a traditional European style dessert wine. Designed for after dinner, and can be paired perfectly with cheesecake, crème brulée, flan, and other custard-based desserts.
